I see. Although I can use rems, sure, and just change the size of rems - I think specifying an actual unit type in your css class still has a smell for me. It could just be personal preference, since I’m used to abstracting away unit types in class names. But I think the authors goal is to remove the unit abstractions, since one of his pain points of tailwind was remembering class names.

I see that the author put a lot of love into the stylify framework. Reading his post and another of his follow up post, he makes a good argument that it’s a pain to remember class names of other frameworks. I won’t trash his work since the author is passionate, and what works for him works. Just not for me I suppose.
